The Plague of Diptheria.
Diptheria has been getting in its deadly work in the family of Jess Kerr, of Vernon, and three children of the family have passed into the great beyond in less than a month's time.
The first, a child of eighteen months, died September 17th. The two others, Walter, twin of the deceased, and Will, aged sixteen years, died within twenty-four hours of each other, the former Saturday night and the latter Sunday morning. Three other children are sick.
The family have much sympathy in their hour of terrible sorrow.
